Africa, the Ultimate Adventure

A Divers Paradise.

South Africa is the ultimate destination for your Scuba Adventure. Sodwana Bay is a marine reserve situated in the heart of South Africa’s first World Heritage Site surrounded by Big 5 game parks. It boasts unspoiled beaches, pristine coral reefs and is one of the top 10 dive sites in the world. With Sodwana’s tropical climate, diving can be enjoyed all year round. The warm, blue Indian Ocean is home to the Big 6: Whale Shark, Whale, Dolphin, Shark, Manta Ray and Turtle.

Sodwana Bay

Situated 350km north of Durban, Sodwana Bay is surrounded by some of the largest vegetated sand dunes in the world. Lake Sibaya is the largest freshwater spring fed lake in Southern Africa. One can watch the sunrise and dive with the Big 6 in the morning and have sundowners with the Big 5 in the afternoon at one of the surrounding game reserves. The area is home to some of the best private game reserves.

Sodwana bay is famous for visits by endangered marine Megafauna including Whale Sharks, Hammerhead Sharks, Blacktip Sharks, Manta Rays and Large Potato Cods. Loggerhead and Leatherback turtles are also common on dives in this area, as our a pod of resident dolphins.

Phinda Game Reserve

Set within easy reach of the Indian Ocean coastline and the famous iSimangaliso / Greater St Lucia Wetland Park in northern KwaZulu-Natal, &Beyond Phinda Private Game Reserve is known for its abundant wildlife, diversity of habitats and wide range of safari activities. Thanks to its coastal rainfall pattern, Phinda Private Game Reserve enjoys a lush green environment that contains seven distinct ecosystems. &Beyond Phinda is often referred to as ‘Seven Worlds of Wonder.’ This fascinating variety of landscape and vegetation shelters an abundance of wildlife, including not only the Big Five but many rarer and less easily spotted species, such as the elusive cheetah or the scarce black rhino.

Here we will have a guided game drive conducted by experienced rangers in open top vehicles. Each game drive will last around 3 hours before returning to Sodwana
